ElevenLabs is an AI voice technology company specializing in text-to-speech generation, voice cloning, and audio dubbing, founded in 2022 by Polish entrepreneurs Piotr Dąbkowski and Mateusz "Mati" Staniszewski. The company built a reputation for unusually natural-sounding synthetic speech, positioning its technology for use cases spanning audiobook narration, video dubbing, and conversational voice agents.
ElevenLabs closed a $500 million Series D at an $11 billion valuation in February 2026, and subsequent press reporting has suggested a considerably higher figure near $22 billion, though that later number has not been confirmed through a formal priced round as of this writing. The company operates dual headquarters in London and New York, reflecting its early transatlantic growth strategy.
